The QuickMod compiler was never built to be a good quality compiler.  It 
was built to speed prototyping.  You then use the Optimizing compiler 
for final work.  When I was on my IBM PC-XT, I used the QuickMod 
compiler (and called it slow) for all minor projects under development.  
Unfortunately, some of the libraries I was using wouldn't link under 
QuickMod, so I had to endure the 10 minute wait while programs using 
those libraries compiled.  Now that I have a faster computer, I haven't 
touched QuickMod for years.  StonyBrook is a good company, though.  They 
do a good job with their compilers.  I think you are just using the 
wrong tool for the job.
